Slack Partner Program Terms & Conditions

Slack Partners

Thank you for your interest in becoming an official Slack partner. Although submitting your information and beginning a conversation with Slack is an exciting first step, it’s important to note that submitting your information and further exploring partnership opportunities with Slack’s team alone does not mean that you are an official Slack partner. Please review these Slack Partner Terms & Conditions carefully. This Agreement governs your communications with Slack in exploring a potential relationship with Slack as a Slack partner. For more information on Slack’s work with partners, please refer to our partner page.

This Agreement takes effect upon your submission to become a Slack Platform Partner (the “Effective Date”). You represent to us that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts, and if you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of an entity, such as the company for which you work, you represent to us that you have legal authority to bind that entity.

Confidential Information

In connection with the Program, the parties may wish to disclose to each other Confidential Information (as defined herein) related to or in furtherance of the Program (the “Purpose”).

• **Confidential Information. **“Confidential Information” means all confidential information received by a party or any of its Affiliates (as the “Receiving Party”) from the other party or any of its Affiliates (as the “Disclosing Party”) relating to the Disclosing Party’s business (including, without limitation, computer programs, technical drawings, algorithms, know-how, formulas, processes, ideas, inventions (whether patentable or not), schematics and other technical, business, financial, customer and product development plans, forecasts, strategies and information). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to be considered “Confidential Information” of the Disclosing Party under this Agreement, such information must be either (1) disclosed in tangible form and be conspicuously marked “Confidential”, “Proprietary” or the like, (2) disclosed in non-tangible form and identified as confidential at the time of disclosure, or (3) information, the nature of which and the manner of disclosure, are such that a reasonable person would understand it to be confidential. The nature and existence of this Agreement, and any potential business relationship between the parties, shall also be considered Confidential Information of both parties. “Affiliate” means any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the subject entity. "Control" (as used in the preceding sentence) means direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 50% of the voting interests of the subject entity. Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is at the time of disclosure, or later becomes, generally known to the public through no fault of the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates, agents, consultants or employees; (ii) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source which, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party, is entitled to disclose it to the Receiving Party; or (iii) is at any time verifiably developed independently by the Receiving Party. If, regarding information under (ii), the Receiving Party becomes aware at any time that the source was not entitled to disclose the information, then such information shall be deemed Confidential Information from that time forward.
